“As soon as I arrived [in Indonesia] there was no real contact with my previous life in Germany. I was one hundred percent in my new place. After two months in my new home, I began photographing portraits. There was no commercial idea, no customer, no makeup or styling team, no pressure. If something did not work it was my mistake. Without the disturbance of others, I could look for the ultimate photo. It was very exciting!“ ~ Fred Stichnoth
